# Fortunas Mechanicus

> From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

## Litany of Holy Installation

```sh

echo "Machine God, hear our prayers and grant us access."

sudo apt install git fortune-mod cowsay # or your distro's equivalent, if not already installed

git clone https://github.com/mathiscode/fortunes-mechanicus

cd fortunes-mechanicus

sudo ln -s $(pwd)/mechanicus* /usr/share/games/fortunes

sudo ln -s $(pwd)/tech-priest.cow /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ # optional if cowsay isn't needed

echo "By the Will of the Omnissiah, it is done."

```

## Litany of Divine Wisdom

```sh

$ fortune mechanicus

Knowledge will ever be a blessing and a curse. -Levistians, 9.22

```

## Litany of Bovine Wisdom

A custom Tech-Priest file is included to be used with [cowsay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowsay).

This cowfile is based on the wizard from [Paul Kaefer's cowfiles](https://github.com/paulkaefer/cowsay-files), and needs some more work from someone better at it than me.

```

$ fortune mechanicus | cowsay -f tech-priest
